International Legal Initiative Foundation

Location: 

The International Legal Initiative Foundation (ILI) was founded in 2010 with the aim of protecting and promoting human rights in Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan

Human rights defenders in Kazakhstan are particularly active on legal and penal reform, social rights, freedom of expression, and ethnic minorities’ rights as well as democratisation. Unlike other central Asian countries, instances of direct targeting of critical media and influential NGOs are limited. Repression against human rights defenders often takes the form of economic and legislative obstacles, which are effective in hindering their work and more difficult to challenge.
